I'm a PPA teacher currently delivering Computing to the whole school that I work in. My resources are made for me usually, but sometimes I get asked to develop stuff for other people. I'm happy to make spreadsheets in particular!

A shape mat for Bee Bots along with 30 A5 sized challenge cards. I've included mats that can be made on both A3 and A4 pages - there is a 3cm overlap on both edges to help with aligning. All comments welcome!

This puzzle comprises 18 sets of equivalent fractions spread over 16 equilateral triangles. These go together to make one large equilateral triangle. The solution is provided.
I feel this activity would be appropriate for Years 5 and 6 although I have created it for use with my Year 6 class.

All of the Red, Green, Challenge and Power words used in the Read Write Inc. Grey books on handy cards.
The green words are from the first green box in each book - some of the Grey books don't have this, just the syllable section, so don't have green word cards.

All of the Red, Green, Challenge and Power words used in all colour bands in the Read Write Inc. books on handy cards.

An Excel spreadsheet to analyse results from the Key Stage 1 English Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling sample tests published July 2015 and available from the gov.uk/sta website.
Please get in touch if you notice any problems.
Questions 16 and 18 are worth two marks each, but have been split into a and b parts for the analysis.

An analysis grid to help identify key areas to focus on between now and the SATs. All based on the sample papers available from the gov.uk website.
All that is needed to be entered are pupils names, genders, and dates of birth to work out their ages. After that, go through each question one by one entering the marks achieved (0, 1, 2 or even 3 marks are available in places). This might take time, but it is worth it as looking where children's gaps in knowledge are is vital to be able to support them in this new style assessment.
Once the data is added, graphs showing which of the 9 areas are strong or weak are created, as well as radar graphs for each paper.
This is heavily based on the old Cornwall Grids from 2006-ish, but it has been rewritten to fit the 2016 sample papers.
